Twenty Five Miles (1987 Remix)Michael Jackson

Songwriter: Edwin Starr Harvey Fuqua Johnny Bristol

Producer: Hal Davis

[Verse 1]
Twenty five miles from home, girl
My feet are hurtin' mighty bad
Now I’ve been walkin' for three days
And two lonely nights you know that I'm mighty bad
But I got a girl waitin’ for me
That's gonna make this trip worthwhile
You see, she's got the kind
Of lovin' and kissin' make a boy go stone wild

[Chorus]
I got to keep on walkin'
Oh, I got to walk on
Let me tell you, y'all I'm so tired
But I just can’t lose my stride

[Verse 2]
I got fifteen miles to go now
And I can hear my baby callin’ my name
It's as if, as though I’m standin' at her front door
And I can hear that doggone thing
Now I'll be so glad to see my baby
And hold her in my arms one more time
And when I kiss her lips I turn backward flip
And I forget about these feet of mine

[Chorus]
I got to keep on walkin'
Oh, I got to walk on
Let me tell you, y’all I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride

I got to keep on walkin', Aaah!
Yeah, I got to walk on let me tell you
Y'all hope my feet don't fail me now
I got five more miles to go
I got nine, eight, seven, six, oh six

[Verse 3]
I got five more miles to go now
Over the hills just around the bend
Although my feet are tired, I can't lose my stride
I got to get my baby back again

[Chorus]
I got to keep on walkin', Aaah!
I got to walk on
Let me tell you, y'all I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride
Oh, I got to walk on, Aaah!
Let me tell you, y'all I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride
I got to keep on walkin', Aaah!
I got to walk on

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
